Avalanche vs Blues Betting Pick
This game will be played at Enterprise Center at 8:00 PM ET on Friday, May 27, 2022.
Why Bet The Avalanche:
✅ Darcy Kuemper had arguably his first bad game of the postseason last Wednesday, allowing five goals on 30 shots (.833 SV%). He’ll look to bounce back in Game 6, and the Avalanche will lean on their first-choice goalie to deliver a strong performance. Kuemper is 5-2 with a 2.50 GAA and .904 save percentage in the 2022 Stanley Cup.
✅ Ville Husso was pretty lucky to escape with a win in Game 5. The 27-year-old netminder has yielded a whopping 13 goals on 93 shots over his previous three meetings with the Avs in this series. Husso is 2-4 on the postseason, tallying a poor 3.78 GAA and .884 save percentage.
